Mortgages complaints remain high – but trend could be reversing

Most Read

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.

The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.

Mortgages remain one of the most complained-about financial products, but complaint volume is on the decrease, according to a new report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

According to the CFPB’s monthly consumer complaints report, mortgages were the third most complained-about financial product or service. There were 3,910 consumer complaints about mortgages in July; only debt collection and credit reporting received more. Taken together, complaints about debt collection, credit reporting and mortgages made up about 66% of the total complaint volume in July.

Individual companies were also singled out. Out of the 10 most complained-about companies, seven – Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Ocwen, Capital One and Nationstar – were either banks or nonbank mortgage companies.

It’s not all bad news, however – complaints about mortgages have dropped off significantly. July saw a 9% decrease in mortgage complaints over the prior month. And the three-month average of 4,159 is 7% lower than the average for the same period in 2015.

Individual companies saw their stats improve as well. Nationstar saw a 16% decline in its average complaint volume, and Ocwen saw its complaint volume drop by 24% – the largest drop among the most complained-about companies.
